Pinder was up against former weathergirl Ulrika Jonsson who shored up her place in the house when her duet with actor Verne Troyer proved a surprise hit on the show's website.

Bookmakers slashed the odds on Pinder being voted out after she failed her part of the house shopping task.

As part of the exercise, Big Brother set Jonsson and Troyer the challenge of performing Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross's classic Endless Love for the housemates, and getting 10,000 web views of the video.

Surprisingly, the pair's woeful rendition proved a huge hit – with 81,483 views by the end of the challenge at 11pm and more than 100,000 by this afternoon.

Pinder declared her wish to leave the Big Brother house today after being driven to distraction by Coolio's incessant rapping.
